Robert Glasper ***SOLD OUT***

About

SOLD OUT Robert Glasper is, by now, one of the rare contemporary musicians whose name is ubiquitous in the jazz world. The pianist and bandleader grew up worshipping the works of keyboard masters like Ahmad Jamal and Herbie Hancock, then cutting his teeth alongside icons of the neo-soul and hip-hop scenes of the early 2000s, like Common, Bilal and the Roots. In the years since, he has become a perennial Grammy winner and a leading avatar of jazz’s genre-blending present. Here, Glasper visits Alexandria’s blessedly kitschy Birchmere, which has become a recurring tour stop for him.
